The app could use some small refinements, like enabling the swipe-to-go-back gesture so I don't have to stretch for the back button in the upper-left corner. But what's here works well, and I'm impressed with the iXpand's build quality.

Light and portable; but still sturdy

Extra options in the app are a little hidden

SanDisk's iXpand flash drive brings additional storage to your Apple iOS device, but is the performance it offers enough?

My first experience getting photos of my ipad went well. However, the app renames your files in to 20 some character mishmash. It does not keep the original file name or give the option to create your own naming scheme. Improve the app and I could give a higher rating.

Its very simple to install and use. However it does NOT look like the picture. But its good enough to store photos, videos, etc...

My wife and I recently returned from our honeymoon in the American Southwest. We toured the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell and the Hoover Dam over the course of nine wonderful days.

Picked up a 16GB iPhone or iPad and realised you can't store much on it? Time to pick up one of the best after-market storage gadgets we've seen in recent memory: the Sandisk iXpand Drive for iPhone and iPad.

Great after-market storage option for smaller iDevices; Auto-backup works great; Format support for video playback is extensive

Expensive; Lightning connector will almost certainly break; Slow file transfer speeds

With the iXpand drive, SanDisk is providing an on-the-go flash device for users of iPhones and iPads. It has been designed to be plug-and-play (after you install and app for it), and at its most basic level it's a two-headed flash drive with both USB and Lightning interfaces.

An on-the-go drive for Apple users; Solid build; Easy to use

Needs to be charged via USB; Had a bit of trouble skimming through AVI files

Very useful to expand the storage of an iPad or iPhone. The only setback is that there is no string to hold the iExpand, and it can be easily got lost.

I was always losing photos when trying to email them to keep on laptop from iPad. This gadget easily transfers all videos and photos leaving free space on ipad

Once the app was downloaded it did all the work for me, loading all photos then asked if I wanted to edit these, which I did
